SanDisk SSD P4 (PATA) Figure 1-1: SanDisk SSD P4 (PATA) Block Diagram Unlike an HDD, the SSD P4 has no moving parts. It keeps working in environments such as classrooms, kiosks and in space-restricted server racks. The patented flash management technology brings top data integrity to the SSD, even during power losses.
SSD P4 (PATA) Solid State Drive Product Manual Rev 0.4 Once the SSD has been configured by the host, it appears to the host as a standard ATA (IDE) disk drive. Key Features High capacity, ultra-small form factor supporting unformatted capacities 32GB, 64GB and 128GB: Half 1.8”...
The SSD soft error rate specification is much better than the magnetic disk drive specification. In the extremely rare case that a read error does occur, the SSD P4 products have innovative algorithms to recover the data by using error detection code and error correction code (EDC/ECC).
Rev 0.4 Non-Volatile Write Cache The third generation of modular SSD, the SSD P4 supports a unique feature to improve random write performance and ensure very positive user experience. Studies show that modern operating systems mostly access the storage device using small access blocks, with the majority being a 4KB access blocks.
Rev 0.4 General Product Specifications Interface The SSD P4 interface complies with the ATA-8 standard published by ANSI and support ATA-8 ACS command set. For more information, refer to the American National Standard X3.221: AT Attachment for Interface for Disk Drives document. Documentation can be ordered...
